Sitting at my desk ready to watch some baseball... Sure, my expectations this year are criminally low, but at least I can blow some steam off at the television while suspending adulthood and reliving my childhood for a few hours a night. For that I am thankful.

Does NESN not have velos during spring training?

Looking forward to seeing Jackson Holliday against MLB pitching He looks like he belongs even though he struck out his first at bat.

Does Mark Contreras gets into the Hall of Fame on his first ballot or second ballot?

2 long AB’s thus far for Ceddanne.
Showing a decent approach despite having nothing to show for it.

So how did Campbell look live? And please tell me the moustache didn't look as wonky as in his profile pick.

So how did Campbell look live? And please tell me the moustache didn't look as wonky as in his profile pick. Looked to me like he couldn't consistently hit his spots. I thought Criswell looked really good though and Slaten's fastball looked filthy but it seemed like he was also having some trouble locating his secondaries. I'm not the most qualified evaluator and was multitasking so take my notes with a grain of salt.

How did Slaten look? I was watching the 1st 4 innings then had to leave. Is it sad that I have hope for this year?

Not gonna lie, this bullpen could be ridiculous. Lots of horses that, if they can learn to harness their gifts, will be very fun to watch.

If anyone watched that and doesn’t feel a little better about this team, I don’t know what to say. All the new bullpen arms looked legit. Whit looked healthy and nasty as ever. It’s the first day of Grapefruit League play so it’d be folly to read too much into anything, but what I saw coulda been a lot worse.

In honor of our first game thread, I'm firing up my newly made Tim Tooltime-esque bar-b-que. A 3 lb. sirloin (about $15.00), foil wrapped potatoes, onions and carrots cooked over real wood charcoal.
Late Sunday morning here. Beesball and steak, works for me.
ADDENDUM>>>
Everything turned out great with the exception of the carrots which was a bad idea.
